| This movie was ok. When i saw the preview i thought it was going to be funny and good. Me and my mom rented this from blockbuster and we saw and she said that it wasn`t all that good and it was ok. I didn`t know that Jarule was going to play the bad person.

| A somewhat all-star cast, put them all together and have a cookout!! What happens when a relative of yours goes all out in basketball and gets number one draft pick by one of the best basketball teams of all times??? $$$ and lots of it!! That is what happens to the main character in this film (Anderson). Although he is drafted by one of the top teams, and gets in excess of a 30 million dollar contract, freinds and family will not let him forget where he came from. Meet the gold-digging girlfriend....she gets him to think big...real BIG, and just sit back and watch the craziness as everyone tries to keep Anderson's feet on the ground...or up in the air!!!
Not the greatest film, but it is somewhat cute...you may chuckle a few times, but this is not one that you may want to watch over and over again.... |

| Originally I said I wouldn't buy this movie. BECAUSE we all know too well that too many African American's in one low budget film is pure and simple HELL!
Now although I didn't HATE this movie, it's far from great. YET it has quality meanings.
1st round pick in the NBA Todd Anderson tries to maintain his "ghetto badge" while popping a new Range, a Jacob, and of all things bricks in a ritzy gated suburb.
As Todd's mom, Lady M,(Jennifer Lewis)tries to warn him about "his" money. She soon discovers that it's somewhat too late. With a gold digger on the loose she has to pull out the swiftness to keep up with Brittany (Meagan Good) who's eyes sparkle like DIAMONDS!
Todd has spent more than he can chew. So now he needs to sell himself out for endorsements in order to stay afloat. Can he get what he needs with family all up in there?
Ya'll know my saying support ya people!
I did laugh some. I liked the cast even though it was "sterotypical" |
